His speed had already surpassed the limits of an ordinary person’s reaction time.
It was fortunate that Zayn was no ordinary person though. He was an expert in combat. In addition to that, virtual-novel.net had been secretly on guard against Zidane all this time. As a result, his pupils constricted for a moment, then virtual-novel.net reacted at once by dodging Zidane’s kick with ease.
“Impressive. You’ve made improvements since the last time. I was still under the assumption that you’ve let yourself go after living with your in-laws for four years.” Zidane did not continue to pursue and attack Zayn after his kick missed. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net clasped his hands behind his back and stared at Zayn smilingly.
There was not an ounce of hostility in his expression. Instead, virtual-novel.net looked as cool as the spring breeze. Of course, virtual-novel.net looked calm on the surface. As his opponent of many years, Zayn could see the somberness and murderous intent in the depths of his gaze in a glance.
With a smile, Zayn said, “That’s right. You’re still like your old self after four years. You’ve made no improvement at all. No wonder Grandpa wasn’t fond of you much all this time.”
Upon hearing that, the corners of Zidane’s lips twitched once in a barely discernible way. His refreshing face had also turned dimmer as well. He glared at Zayn. “Do you think that you’ll be able to change your fate just because the devil Connor left you with all the inheritance?”
To Zayn’s surprise, Zidane had actually addressed Grandpa by his first name, and virtual-novel.net even did it at Grandpa’s grave. It was massively disrespectful. Even if Zayn was a mild-tempered man, virtual-novel.net could not control his fury anymore at this very moment. He clenched his fists and felt unprecedented raging anger surge into his heart then into his mind while his eyes turned bloodshot.
“Zidane, you’re an ungrateful swine! Every skill you possess now is a result of Grandpa’s teachings! You’re nothing but scum without Grandpa! How dare you vilify Grandpa now? You’re simply worse than an animal!” Zayn was blinded with rage.
“Haha, I condemn him. Why? As a fellow Larson, it’s his responsibility to pass on his knowledge to me, so how is it considered a meritorious service?”
Zidane burst out laughing aloud disdainfully without showing the slightest respect for his grandfather. “My hard work is the sole contributor to my growth and it’s completely unrelated to him! On the other hand, Connor has favored you ever since you were a child and passed on his impressive skills to you while virtual-novel.net hid everything from me! Or else, how do you think you’ve managed to best me since we were young?”
He made his statement with an expression filled with jealousy. His face was severely distorted with resentment.
Zayn inhaled a deep breath. Zidane’s words had just given virtual-novel.net a new understanding of one’s shamelessness!
“Out of jealousy and recalcitrance, you set out to harm Grandpa four years ago and made virtual-novel.net into a vegetable, didn’t you?!” Zayn’s gaze was locked onto Zidane. He refused to miss even the slightest change in his brother’s expression.
Zidane’s gaze glimmered for a moment. Soon afterward, virtual-novel.net cracked into a malicious smile once again. “Do you really want to know the truth? Defeat me and I’ll tell you.”
Upon saying that, virtual-novel.net abruptly made a move. His body moved forward unexpectedly and covered the distance of a few meters in one step. Arriving before Zayn in just the blink of an eye, virtual-novel.net swung his fist.
A soft sonic boom took Zayn by surprise as it sounded like the air was blown up by Zidane’s punch.
A ball of fire burned in Zayn’s chest as well. Now that Zidane had already attacked him, how could virtual-novel.net hold himself back anymore? He returned the attack right away and threw a punch without the slightest hesitation, confronting Zidane’s violence with violence!
A thud was heard when two rigid fists collided with one another. Both of them felt as if they were punching a steel plate. The enormous recoil made both of them lose their footing, so they began backing away.
Crack!
Zidane propped himself against his grandfather’s tombstone with his foot. The impact had actually cracked a crack on the tombstone! Zayn felt his scalp turn numb with fear and his heart almost stopped beating. He was inconsolable!
On the other hand, Zidane did not feel guilty at all. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net chuckled. “Oh, no. I didn’t expect that I’d break the old man’s tombstone. I’m really sorry for that!”
Even though virtual-novel.net said it this way, his action said the opposite. He bent his knee instantly and pushed himself against the tombstone strenuously so that virtual-novel.net could launch himself at Zayn swiftly!
In that case, the crack on the tombstone widened even more under the impact once again.
Zayn was extremely furious upon witnessing the scene, and virtual-novel.net almost flared up in rage!
However, virtual-novel.net had not lost his senses. He backed away rapidly, well aware that the destruction resulting from their combat was extremely dire. He had to retreat to a larger space so that virtual-novel.net could engage in a reckless fight with Zidane properly!
